Nova Blast

"Even as [Icarax] gloats over his triumph, I am summoning every last bit of moisture from the air for hundreds of kios around. I am merging it together, bending it to my will, preparing to unleash all my elemental power in one single explosion of force. And I do ... and I hope to the Great Beings I never will again. "

A Nova Blast was an extremely powerful ability, often considered to be a last resort, which was unleashed when a Toa gathered and released all of their elemental energy at once. After a Toa had performed one, they were unable use any elemental powers until their energies had recharged. They were rarely used because of their highly destructive, and often lethal force.

In the main story, only one Nova Blast has been seen so far; Toa NuvaGali once used a Water Nova Blast as a last resort when she and the other Toa Nuva were fighting MakutaIcarax in Karzahni. She created a huge flood of water that destroyed the entire realm.

Toa MetruVakama once considered unleashing a Fire Nova Blast during his fight against a fire creature, but decided against it, because it would destroy everything in a huge radius.

In Death of a Hero, Toa MahriJaller almost unleashed a Fire Nova Blast before he was teleported back to Metru Nui. Once there, he had to force down his powers in order to avoid destroying the entire city.
